Gr 9 Up—In this dramatic final volume of the steampunk saga, part-automaton Mila, powerful Finley Jayne, and her motley crew of paranormal teens band together to rescue her love, Griffin King, and the world from the villainous The Machinist.
Finley dies in order to enter the Aether and save her love, Griffin, who is being held captive by his (dead) archenemy, Garibaldi. Meanwhile, Mila (formerly an automaton, now a girl) decides to run away in order to break free from her criminal caretaker, Jack. Cross's fifth series entry is filled with bold characters, overwrought situations, passionate romances, and dastardly deeds.
